Review of Jason Bourne (2016) by Kevinjc13 — 07 Aug 2016
It was a typical action movie. Which isn't the spirit of the Bourne franchise at all. The only thing missing was your typical damsel in distress that the protagonist macho man has to save. The movie wasn't clever, jason bourne is just a vindictive killer and the ending was anti-climactic.
The CIA parts were cringe-worthy, that's all I can say about them. Typical futuristic Tony Stark computers with actors clacking away at keyboards basically doing magic. "People don't know how hacking and computers work! Just throw some big words, crazy animations and make it look cool and you got yourself a dank hacking scene!" Also, the worst line in the film had to be, "it's worse than Snowden.
" Like what the hell? What CIA agent talks like this? What makes it quantifiably worse than Snowden? Oh right, you just wanted to throw some smart hacker dudes' name in there to sound smart and cool.
That's all this movie is... It's trying to be smart, suspenseful and cool but a little thinking allows you to see right through it.. It's a basic action film with a basic plot, basic characters, and basic storytelling.
Also, prepare to be nauseated by all the shaky-cam bullsh*t this film uses to cover up bad stuntwork and editing... The entire film looks like it was filmed by a 6 year old with an iphone strapped to his forehead.
